Perhaps you can check out LandCruising Adventure. Website from a Dutch couple travelling for over 6 years in their Landcruiser. They spend 118 days in Brazil and might be still there.
A lot of info can be found at their site as well as on Suite101.com.
Have fun! Hope to get there one day

Hmmm :-) Funny, I read the subject of this thread and was going to respond in this manner, Don you beat me to it. I hope you are enjoying Australia?
I would like to add to this that we currently finished our 5 month stay in only Mato Grosso state and a bit in Rondania, bringing our total spend days in Brazil over 240 days. Most problems I have with Brazil is the good food...
Adventurous greetings,
Coen

Loved Brazil
I traveled from the Falls to Sao Paulo and down without any problems. You really just have to do the same as anywhere, don't arrive at night and keep your wits about you.
Funnily I haven't been robbed on the trip but was also robbed just before I left London.
Cheers,
Annette

Cheers for the advice folks, few good websites there with a fair bit of information for me, but I know that what I really need is the usual bit of common sense and a bit of map study before any large city. Some of ye have some good websites, must get off my ass and get it done.
Anyway, cheers, this is Jagermini under the new apt name IronArse,
See ye good folks on the road someday...!

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
